I'm a wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend, but sometimes I feel like I'm all alone on this crazy ride. Come along on the journey that I call my life, through the ups, downs, and in betweens...

About Me

My name is Eva, I've been married to my hubby for almost 3 years now, and we have a baby girl named Haeley. She is my world, and I never knew what true, unconditional , unwavering love was until she was placed in my arms. There is no feeling on the planet like being a mother, the words have not been invented to describe the way I feel about my little girl. I thank God for giving my husband and I the girft of being her parents. After having Haeley I went back to school to finish my BA in Education, I love children and I love to learn new things. I think children have a beautifully pure way of looking at the world and making others see the beauty they see. When I am helping a child nothing else seems to matter, all my problems melt away and I am in my element. I become optimistic, alive, happy, and goofy.
I absolutely adore my hubby, without him I do believe it would have taken me years to see the potential I have within me. He showed me that I am good enough and complete just the way I am. He makes me smile, laugh, and cry because of his generosity and loyalty to those he loves. I am blessed that his love has touched mine and my family's lives.

New Year, New Incentive...

In January of 2006 I embarked on a journey to lose weight, I weighed 290+ pounds. By December of that same year I had lost 146 pounds. In November of 2008 I discovered I was pregnant, over the next 9 months I proceded to gain all of my weight back, after having my beautiful daughter I lost 45 pounds without trying, it might have been due to the loss of appetite after my C-Section, because after I healed my appetite was back with a vengance. I ended up GAINING 18 pounds. So here I sit on the first of January 4 years later looking to make a promise to myself. My promise is to try harder, to workout at least 4 times a week, and to enjoy the life I have with my husband and my baby girl.I know i can lose the weight again, I just have to apply myself in the same manner that I did the first time. I have no excuses not to do this, I just have to talk myself out of giving into the temptations that are often more tempting in my mind than they actually are in reality. I am a foodie, we tend to sensationalize food mentally, when in reality certain things just aren't worth the guilt. So here's to a new year, and new experiences.

I'm so glad you're blogging again! i have missed you! I lost 83 pounds between 01/05 and 04/06 and I have gained back 81! I am definitely back on the wagon. Whenever you have a major life change (such as a marriage/divorce in one year! or a baby!) It's hard to stay on track... but it's just a matter of relearning those healthy habits and doing the things that we already know can work for us! Happy New Incentive! *hugs*heather
